In the spirit of the “NCI’s Roadmap” the Mid-Atlantic Shared Services Consortium (MASSC) was established to provide our researchers with easy, reciprocal access to the specialized, technical services, equipment and expertise available at the 4 participating institutions.

Each institution provides investigators at consortium member institutions the same pricing researchers at their home institution pay.

This Shared Services consortium is a demonstration of good financial stewardship and collaborative science in action.

3 member institutions manager their cores via the iLab platform. Extending this reciprocal access to our investigators via iLab is just one more means of enhancing the impact of this consortium.

Member Institutions:

Georgetown University Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center

Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center

University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center

University of Virginia Cancer Center

Currently, Georgetown's cores are not managed via the iLab platform but they can be accessed here

Members at Mid-Atlantic Shared Services Consortium

<p>This is a listing of SKCCC Cores which have not yet implemented iLab.&nbsp; &nbsp;As these cores implement the iLab management program they will move from this listing to the cores active in iLabs.</p>

<p>Consultation and guidance on the proper choice, design and use of radiological imaging studies in clinical trials. Expert reviews of clinical protocols to assure that the radiological imaging protocol and analysis plans are appropriate for the chosen task.</p>

The Cell Imaging Core Facilities provides cell imaging technologies, including light and fluorescence microscopy, stereo and confocal microscopy, infrared imaging, time lapse, and laser microdissection. Images can be acquired using a variety of cameras and analyzed with analysis software programs.

The Cytogenetics Core Facility offers classical cytogenetic services including metaphase chromosome preparation and karyotyping of G-banded chromosomes, as well as molecular techniques, such as fluorescence in situ hybridization, on fresh and formalin fixed paraffin embedded specimens.

Provides radiation services for in vitro and vivo experiments. Services include training in the operation radiation machines, advice to users on the design, dosimetry and best machine for their application, operating the machines when necessary, and maintenance and repair of the resources.

We support investigators as they integrate sophisticated genomic experiments and bioinformatics analyses into their work. Services include microarray, next generation sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and genomics/bioinformatics educational courses and workshops.

Strives to accelerate discovery by providing investigators, on campus and beyond, access to cutting-edge technologies in mass spectrometry. Expetise from basic biology and medicine to technology development and translational research
